Are there any daggers present amongst the weapons? Lots and lots of daggers? Or are these considered blades?

"Dudley's right," Wembley quipped thoughtfully. "No use killing unnecessarily. Let's just go and see what's up there. Now that we have a lucky cat with us, who knows what good fortune awaits."

He paused a moment, thinking a bit more. "Still... might not hurt to have our weapons close at hand... just in case."

Seriously! Look at you guys! All speedy like.

Well, the majority seems to be says they'd like to avoid an all out shoot out... we'll see if you are able to avoid it.

My next two days are full, so my update will have to wait until Thursday. Sorry.

Well played, Astrid! At first I read the italicized part and thought he was going for the intimidation route, but it was a neat surprise to read that it was just the mental movie he was playing in his head. Well done!

EVERYONE:
Bunch of eager beavers! All of you posting within 24 hrs of the update! Nice.

So, now that we have a few days before my next update, how do you guys want to play this?

I get the sense that you are trying for the intimidation/back down route? Yes?

Can you each list the following options in order of your character's hopes:

1) The bandits will back down, maybe taking Fenir's offered coins, and leave peaceably?

2) The party attempts to shoot it out and try to kill the bandits?

3) The party attempts to capture the bandits (kill, if necessary), and turn them in when you pass through Stormhollow?

4) The party enters into negotiation with the bandits, offering them some more money than the coins Fenir's offered, but nothing belonging to Weldon and his sons?

Let me know and we'll go from there.
Thanks!
Ayrn

Subject: UPDATE #1


[The Masons’ Way, northeast of the Murkenhill Forks, Mid Spring, Year 54 AR, present time, late morning.]

The rain begins letting up by late morning until it is little more than a light drizzle. Still, the storm has taken its toll on the two squirrel scouts. For Vi, the cold chill has seemed to sink deep into the marrow of her bones. Asher finds his nose has a steady drip of mucus and catches himself sniffling.

The party is just beginning to stop for a hot lunch, when a band of raccoons emerges from a ditch to the right. While the group of seven are dressed in ragged clothes, they are well armed. The band splits in the three groups:

Group 1 is made of a stout raccoon armed with a wicked battle axe, and two lean raccoons with short bows notched and ready. They are approaching the first cart.

Group 2 is made up a powerfully build raccoon with a massive wooden club, and another raccoon with a short bow ready to fire. They are approaching the last cart.

Group 3 is made of a tall and slender raccoon armed with two short swords and a raccoon armed with his short bow aimed at Weldon.

“Simon Crag,” Weldon nearly spat out the words. “What are ye lot doin’ ‘bout ‘ere. Stirrin’ up trouble, no doubt.”

“You know exac.. exact...,” Simon the Raccoon with the two short swords begins to say as he approaches the middle cart. “exa—aachoo... exactly what we’re doing. We’re lightening your load a little. Gonna help ourselves to some of your provisions and then empty out your coffers. Who are your three friends?”

“Trained scouts from the Abbey,” Weldon said sternly. “Might want to think your plan through again and back away. “

“Haha! Me!” Simon scoffed. “Back down from these three whelps! I don’t think so.”

He paused for a moment, sizing up the wagon train. “But I have thought my plan again,” he said, a sly grin creeping over his face. “I’ll take any gold they got on them too. Haha!”

The other raccoons joined in with their leader in laughing, until Simon let out another loud sneeze. “Let’s go, lads,” Simon said, sniffling. “Hand over yer pouches. Nobeasts gonna get hurt.”

OOC: A couple of notes:

1) The wagons are stopped.
2) Vi has not been spotted yet in the trees
3) I have Asher out walking up front... and he is spotted
4) I have Fenir sitting in the front wagon with Dremmon.
5) I have Oltovian riding beside Weldon in the middle cart.
6) Vi and Asher failed their Fort saves and are developing colds... no game-mechanic effect yet.
7) While you are welcome to fight your way out of this scenario (really, that is a fine option), do not feel like every moment of conflict must be handled with steel and bow.
8 ) Next update will be Thursday, Jan 9, after 5 PM EST. Please have your updates in prior to then.
9) Sorry, I don’t have a battle map. I can say that you are all within striking distance.

Subject: Dunstable's reply to Vi


Dunstable had been working at crushing and grinding a white powder mixture with his mortar and pestle. He set the both down when he noticed the little squirrel enter in.

“Ah! My dear, fair Vi!” the rat said pleasantly, washing his hands in the nearby basin and drying them on his apron. “What brings you by this late hour?”

"Hi Dunstable," Violet spoke up, "Seeing as a few of us are heading up towards Murkenhill, was there anything we should keep an eye out for? I know it's still spring so things might not have bloomed quite yet but thought I'd ask."

“Ah, my little dove,” chided Dunstable gently. “There are so many things to be harvested during every season – the Maker be praised. One only needs to know where to look,” he added with a smile.

“Now... Murkenhill, hmm? Let me think...” Dunstable thought reflectively. “Ah, yes! Of course! Usnea!”
Dunstable goes on to give a description of the plant.

And, there’s more to post... though I will need to make the update tomorrow night. Sorry, guys!

Subject: Second response to Oltovian


"So you have any idea where Shadow may be hiding? Rumors say there is a roost northwest of Stormhollow, a massive nest atop a tall pillar made of natural rock."

Weldon gave the young otter a queer look, “They tell ye nothin’ back at the Abbey?” Oltovian’s look was all the mole needed to set into another tirade. “Hrmp! Of course, we ‘ave an idea where Shadow is ‘idin’, ‘cept I don’t think I’d call it ‘idin’. The wicked beast be up in ‘is roost, of course, plottin’ and schemin’ the destruction of me and me kin. And it ain’t no rumor either, ‘is roost be easy enough to find. Northwest of the Quarry, maybe a day or so walk. No more. I’m sure someone’s got a map up at the Pit.

“Our problem ain’t that we can’t find ‘im,” Weldon went on, annoyed as a beast with a burr in his fur. “Our problem is that we ain’t been able to kill ‘im. ‘e just keeps comin’ back.”

Oltovian waited courteously for a proper response, before changing the subject of his questions.

"So where do you deliver stones?"


“Eh? What’s that?” Weldon asked. “Where do I deliver stone?” The mole gave Oltovian a sideways glance. “Ye be a curious, young feller, eh?

“Well, me young friend, me and me boys deliver mostly south of the Murkenhill Forks. Rumblewood, Stonewell, and the Abbey.

"What can you tell me about the Murkenhill Quarry and anybeasts who work there?"

“Foremole Tigwyn, I suppose, be the one you’ll be lookin’ to speak with. ‘e runs the operation at the Quarry. Small beast, but stout as a boulder. Split rock as good as anybeast, I’d figure.”

"Can you tell me what you know about the loss of production from mining stones over the past few months? Would there be any other plausible explanation, other than the return of Shadow?"

“Loss of production?” The mole gives Oltovian a queer look, and then speaks somewhat indignantly, “Hrmp! There’s been no loss of production. Except for this trip south, we’ve been exceedin’ our quotas each time. Loss of production! Hrmp!”

Weldon turns his gaze to the sky, “They don’t believe us!” Turning back to Oltovian, he continues, “Are ye not listenin’ to me, lad? I already told you -- Shadow’s back. ‘ow much more explanation did ye be needin’?”

It is obvious that the otter’s question has frustrated the mole as he continues on in silence.

OOC: More to follow shortly... don't post yet

Topic: Tales of Alder Vale -- Spring
Subject: Weldon's reply to Oltovian


Oltovian leaned forward to shout out a word of encouragement and appreciation to the male and female Lizards, as they steadily pulled the wagon in spite of the rain, ever nearer to their destination, before addressing Weldon the Mole with the following question:

"Well, kind sir, what can you tell me about the Murkenhill Quarry and the surrounding lands?

"Perhaps you can fill in the information that I be lacking from the Tomes that I have read and the 'Hare History Tales' that I have heard over the years?"


“’are ‘istory Tales, eh?” Weldon replied, keeping his eyes on the road ahead. “Hrmp! Lot o’ good that non-sense will do ye,” he mumbled. “Likely filled yer ‘ead all sorts muddly-mush. ‘are 'istory Tales! That’s what they be teaching ye from down at the Abbey these days? Books by 'are-brained authors? Probably got all of the facts wrong then. Hrmp!”

From under his hooded cape, Weldon cast his eyes briefly over Oltovian as though he were assessing the otter. The hood had done little to keep out the driving rain, and the damp, matted fur around the mole’s face made Weldon look even more miserable.

“Let me give ye a true education, lad,” the mole began, turning his eyes back to the road. “We moles ‘ave been ‘round the ‘ills a long time. Why, I can trace my own line back eleven generations, my lads making the line thirteen – the Maker be good. Stormhollow’s been our home all these seasons. And we’ve defended many of them against one horde or another. Fangel the Wildcat, from the summer of 47 – they tell ye about ‘im? – nah, ‘course not. ‘e was a tyrant. The cruel Cat liked to bury ‘is fangs in ‘is enemies’ necks, then watch them bleed out nice and slow. That Wildcat was so crazy, ‘e cut down ‘is own horde just for sport – we didn’t mind that, mind ye... only good rat’s a dead one, am I right? Right?

“”They tell you ‘bout the morning in late fall, 33... or was it 34... hrmp... one year or the other... it doesn’t matter. The masons woke up to find the great brown bear twins, Gunnar and Vidar, ‘ad decided to take up residence in the nearby cave. Those bears gorged themselves on many of our kin before we were able to rally ourselves and defend the Quarry. My grandpapy was lost that day, dashed against the stone walls of the pit by Gunnar, that beast. Rumour ‘as it’s still lumbering ‘bout somewheres north of the ‘ills

“Or, how ‘bout Gratch the Wretched and ‘is band of corsairs that came out the west back in the Spring of 18? Hear ‘bout ‘im? ‘ad my kin working as slaves to build ‘im a fortress just north of ‘ere. Didn’t get far, though. The old masons laid ‘im down a foundation that came crumbling down around ‘is head right after ‘e holed ‘imself up in it. Haha! That’s a good story. Ol’ mole ingenuinity, right?

The mole paused for a moment, a dark seriousness returning to his face. “None of them stories compare to the desolation of Shadow though. He came in soon after the Quarry began operations, ten or so seasons before the Abbey was founded.” Weldon turned his glaze towards Oltovian, his eyes wide, “A more wicked beast does not live ‘mongst us.

“Wings wide enough to block out the light of day. The powerful gusts from those wings are strong enough to knock over a stone wall. ‘is talons can lift boulders. ‘is beak can rend plate mail. Death and destruction follow in ‘is wake. Oh! The Maker be good – we thought ‘im dead, but ‘e was only bidin’ is time, troubling other kind creatures elsewhere, perhaps. But now ‘e’s returned, wanting gold, they say. And if ‘e don’t get ‘is gold, then ‘e’ll be bringing death and destruction once more.

“I haven’t seen ‘im myself. Delivering stone keeps me away from ‘ome more often than not. But the masons tell me it’s ‘im for sure. Shadow’s back.”

OOC:
Note #1: Oltovian has heard the first two tales before in the Hare History Tales. The Tales claim it was in the fall of 33 that the bears took up residence, and that both bears were killed.
Note #2: Oltovian has heard about the broken fortress from the third story, but little else.
Note #3: To the rest of the characters – unless you are riding in the wagon with Oltovian and Weldon, none of you would be able to hear the above stories.

Subject: Machin's response to Violet


"Now then, I presume you weren't waiting here just to tease a librarian," Machin noted, "What can I do for you?"

Violet nodded, "Actually, I was wondering if there was more information on this Shadow figure. I mean, why is this particular owl legendary?" She asked.


Machin’s face grew dark. “So, Master Camber has informed you of your quest.” The aging mouse moved behind his desk and shuffled through some loose sheets of paper. “Here.” He passes Violet a picture.

link

“It is said to be a sketch of the beast,” the mouse squeaked. “He is a creature of legend. His wings are said to be large enough to block out the light of the sun, his talons able to crush rock, his beak capable of swallowing a mole whole. He is the Dark Foe, the Silent Hunter, the Grey Death, ... Shadow.” Machin visibly shudders as he says the name.

“Shadow was already legend by the time I was born, little Violet,” Machin recalled. “His tale was told by parents trying to ensure their children would be home before dark. ‘Careful! You run around after dark and Shadow will get you!.’”

The librarian allowed himself to laugh a little as he gave Violet a wink. “Fairytales, ‘tis all. I’m not sure what the stone masons have troubling them, but the last records we have of any beast called “Shadow” are from before the Abbey was founded. I doubt very much that he would make an appearance now, more than two hundred seasons later.”

Taking the paper from Violet again, Machin seemed to have an afterthought. “Still... owls have been known to live a long time. There was one a grey beast in Skalleren Wood not long ago... she had neared two-hundred forty seasons. Died no more than ten seasons ago... kindly creature, not like most of her kind. If she caught you in her gaze,” Machin’s eyes went wide in recollection. “Her greatness and awe alone could spellbind you. She was magnificent.”

Machin came out of his trance, and gave Violent a crooked smile, “Vain... but almost rightfully so. Honeyed words worked better to keep her in check than anything else.”

“Now, I hope that was helpful for you, Violet.” Machin says, obviously looking to get to his work. “Was there anything else?”

Astrid, your edits look great. Thanks! Good work!

Bodkin, I'll make all edits to your character sheet as you use up your consumeables.

Regarding "group treasure", if it comes in the from of coins, it doesn't really matter to me who carries it. I just assume someone is carrying it. Perhaps it would be a good idea if I noted who received the bag of coins. For now, assume Oltovian received the small purse.

I'll try to do better in the future in noting who found / received the treasure. On this forum, I'll also note group treasure and who's carrying the treasure.

Reralae, I'll respond to Violet's query later tonight.

My next "major update" will be on Sunday night. In the future, I hope to be doing major updates on Sunday nights (after 5 PM EST) and on Thursday nights (after 5 PM EST).

Thanks, guys! Playing with you folks looks like it's going to be AWESOME!

Posted on 2014-01-02 at 16:03:49.

Topic: Alder Vale Campaign Q/A
Subject: Great post.


Astrid, thanks for starting us off awesome!

A few notes I'd make, and I'd make them for everyone one:

1) I'd ask that our posts be written from a third-person point of view. My first post is not really a great example either (sorry), using the pronoun "you".

Anyway, instead of writing from the perspective of "I", you write it as if you are "watching" the drama from above... so, taking your first paragraph, you wrote:

A gust of wind blew into the kitchen, as i ambled through the door. my arms full of fire wood, kicking the door closed with a booted foot. i wadded my way through the kitchen help to unceremoniously drop the load by the hearth. I couldn't help but grin like an idiot as Mistress Olive chided me for tracking mud through the kitchen. Yet in the same breath she also gushed over the size of the armloads i had brought in.

And how I'm looking for your post to look is like this:

A gust of wind blew into the kitchen as Fenir ambled through the door. His arms full of fire wood, Fenir kicked the door closed with a booted foot. He waded his way through the kitchen help to unceremoniously drop the load by the hearth. Fenir couldn't help but grin like an idiot as Mistress Olive chided him for tracking mud through the kitchen. Yet, in the same breath she also gushed over the size of the armloads he had brought in.

2) Please remember the note on posting guidelines regarding a character's speech, internal thoughts, and quoting other posts:

A character's speech in merely place in quotations (" ") marks. Example: "I hadn't meant to bring in so much," Fenir blushed. "I often forget how much larger i am then most at the abbey aside from Prioress Noona and a few others."

A character's internal thoughts are Italicized. Example: Fenir hadn't made Florence cry this week. I feel like such a cad when I make her cry, the badger thought. But somehow i always ended up snapping at her and hurting her feelings.

We do this to tell the difference between a character's speech, which the other characters may hear and react to, and a character's thoughts, which is enjoyable to read but which the other characters cannot hear and cannot response to.

Quotes from another player's or the DM's post are bolded to highlight the fact that your character is responded to something specific. Example:

“A message had come from the Quarry in the Murkenhill,” Camber began. “Master Tigwyn claims that an ancient evil had returned…the legendary owl, Shadow.”

Fenir muffled a soft chuckle, though the Abbott's tone was serious.

3) Regarding posting actions for other PCs or NPCs:

For PCs, please do not post their reactions to your character's speech or actions, even if what you've posted for them seems small or insignificant. Small and insignificant reactions all build into how we perceive the character. So, for example, you posted:

I grinned at Oltovian and poked Reginald in the ribs causing him to start slightly and push into Vi causing her to squeak in start.

I would change this to something like:

Fenir grinned at Oltovian and poked Reginald teasingly in the ribs.

**Note: I actually did go and make that edit to your post.**

This allows the other players to respond in the way they envision their character acting. So, in response to the above example, maybe Celeste might post something like:

Reginald jumped, startled by Fenir's jabs, and bumped into Violet.

"Sorry, Vi," The hare said apologetically, before turning on the badger and giving Fenir a look that combined What was that for? and Cut it out!


But she might respond with:

"Ouch!" Reginald rubbed his side, giving Fenir a look take warned him to not do that again.


Anyway, let players decide how their characters respond to your character's actions.

With NPCs you have a bit more freedom. In your post, you talked about how Olive scolded Fenir for tracking in mud and prepared special food for Fenir. That was good!

I would say this as a general rule: If you're character has an established neutral/friendly relationship in their character sheet, feel free to post for the NPC as the NPC interacts with your character. So, it's fine for you to post Fenir's interaction with Olive, but keep her actions simple, small gestures and only in relationship with Fenir.

It would not be okay for any of you to post for Abbott Camber, Master Weldon, Aidyn, or Dremmon, as none of your characters have a real established relationship any of these characters. Neither would it be okay for you to post that Olive suddenly started making out with Fenir as that is a departure from their established relationship. You post what your character says or does, I'll post the NPCs reactions.


Some notes of praise... in case it's coming across like I'm tearing apart your post, let me add a few more notes:

1) I'm not tearing apart your post. I really liked it and it was a fun read. It is also a great post to point out the posting guidelines and conventions that we will be using in our game. Thank you!

2) I really enjoyed reading Fenir's interaction with the world I've presented so far. You've already given the rest of us a great picture of your badger.

3) I the interaction with Olive. Very cool!

4) I also loved how you set up poignant and humorous moments. Thanks! That's the kind of stuff that makes our stories memorable.

So, like I said, thanks for posting first and kicking us off well!

Looking forward to this!
Ayrn

The Tale of Shadow’s Roost

They came for stones but they found doom
A pillar of rocks in wooded gloom

The stones were perfect, square and strong
The masons labored hard and long

They dug their stones, but they found doom
Far above their death did loom

From his roost owl eyes did seek
Shadow came with claw and beak

They stacked their stones, but they found doom
Shadow came to kill and to consume

For perfect stone they were seduced
But fools pass below Shadow’s roost

They found their doom, but wanted stones
Now they lay in piles of bones




[Stonewall Abbey, Mid Spring, Year 54 AR, a few days prior...]

A cold wind blew in from the north on the day that the Stone Masons’ wagon train rolled into the Abbey. Whispers circulated that the wagons carried less than half the stone promised from the Murkenhill Quarry. Those working at repairing the northeast corner of the Abbey grumbled at the delays this would cause in restoring the defenses.

It had been during the supper hour that each of you received a summons to meet with the Abbott late that evening in his personal library. Asher, Fenir, Oltovian, Reginald, and Violet – all of you were gathered. The elderly otter barely looked up from the tome he was reading the entire time he talked to you.

“A message had come from the Quarry in the Murkenhill,” Camber began. “Master Tigwyn claims that an ancient evil had returned…the legendary owl, Shadow.”

Each of you had a reaction to this, some a gasp, others a muffled chuckle, but the overtone was obviously one of disbelief. The Legend of Shadow is nothing more than a fairy tale used to scare mole children.

This was silenced quickly enough when the Abbott looked up from his book with stern eyes.

“Only a fool disregards that which seems unbelievable simply because it is unlikely,” Camber said.

His eyes returned to the tome in front of him, as he muttered, “Guardian Bowser has selected you for the task. He said the fresh air would do you all some good. I believe he thinks this little more than the drunken nightmare of Master Tigwyn and his mole masons. He may well be right, but I shall not ignore Foremole’s fear... nor his request. As we saw today, something is disrupting the moles’ labours.”

Sighing a little, the Abbott looks up as if appraising each of you in turn. “You five shall travel to Murkenhill and see if there is any truth to this tale. The wagon train is returning to the quarry in three days. Master Weldon has graciously offered for you to travel with them. I am sending you with a small purse to cover any needs you may have along the way. I trust when you are there you will know what must be done. May the Creator watch over you.”

And with that, you were dismissed to prepare for your journey.

[OOC: The items you have purchased for your characters in what you have gathered in preparation for the journey. In addition, Camber has give you a purse of 25 gold pieces.]


[The Masons’ Way, northeast of the Murkenhill Forks, Mid Spring, Year 54 AR, present time, mid morning.]

Yesterday, having gathered your gear, you joined the Teamster Weldon, a stout mole with black fur, and his two sons, Aidyn and Dremmon in the Abbey’s courtyard. You were all excited to get outside the walls and see the wilds of the Murkenhill...

“Two days,” Weldon claimed. “And our journey should end with us at the quarry.”

Yesterdays travels had gone smooth enough. Though the wind was still blowing against them from the north, the train made good progress, stopping to camp out near the Murkenhill Forks for the evening.

But then the rain came... in the middle of the night... a cold, driving rain that pelted the canvas covering Master Weldon’s wagons.

Now mid-morning, the train was carrying on through the muddy ruts, making its way to Stormhollow and then onto the Quarry. The Greyshun Woods were bringing to run alongside the road to the left side. Two the right side of the road, fields and farmland rolled along. The lizards, bearing most of the burden, were performing admirably through the storm. Weldon and his sons, on the other hand, grumbled and muttered about the weather, as the cold rain drenched their clothing.

[OOC: And, so begins our adventure together. A little information, and couple of things I need from you:

1) There are 3 wagons in our train: The first one is led by Dremmon. The last one is led by Aidyn. In the middle is Weldon.

2) Things I need from you: Are you staying in the shelter of the wagon? Are you outside getting wet?, Where are you?

3) If you decide to have your character in one of the wagons, your Notice skill will ne trickier to make. If you stay outside, you will need to make a Fortitude check to see if you weather this storm without getting sick. Gliding in this weather would also be difficult for violet.

4) You are welcome to interact with the NPCs,

Hey Everyone,

Just a short update on where we are so far:

1) Ziklag and Grugg have bowed out. No hard feeling about that (Some sad ones, though... would have loved to game with you both). Just the way life is sometimes.

2) I am waiting on a description and background from Celeste for Reginald.

3) I will be mostly away for the next week. If I have time, I'll try and update the Q/A thread with some more information on the setting. No promises though.

4) It is my intention to have the game up and running prior to January 5.

Merry Christmas to each of you! May you experience greater grace, hope, joy, and peace in the coming year.

Ayrn
